1964 Map of Davey

About this map

Davey serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of northern Lancaster County, situated along the Chicago and North Western rail line. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Little Salt Creek and Ash Hollow Creek, which carve through the undulating plains. Local rural life in the mid-1960s is reflected in the distribution of community landmarks, including several numbered schoolhouses such as School No 112 and School No 109, alongside the Tothill Cem and Danish Cem. Near the southern edge, the tiny settlement of Arbor sits near the crossing of Salt Creek, illustrating the close relationship between early Nebraska transit corridors and the natural drainage systems of the Oak and North Bluff regions. Several Sandpits along the creek beds point to localized mineral extraction in an otherwise predominantly agrarian environment.
